3 creative London half-term activities for kids

Digital art workshops at Imagination Lab
From 2017, London will have a new Imagination Lab with workshops for kids and adults, and over half-term children aged 5 to 12 and their families can have a sneak-peek of what’s to come from the Institute of Imagination as part of Make:Shift:Do. There will be workshops on Friday 28 October and Saturday 29 October, and activities will include a pop-up digital making space, giving children an opportunity to engage in new experiences using digital tools. Through the use of art, sound and storytelling all participants can get involved in creating and animating their own stories, building their own robotic sound orchestra and working with Kano computers to make and code art. The free tickets for the workshops can be booked HERE.

At Kensington Palace, families can enjoy a range of creative drop-in activities this half term. The activities, which are included in the palace admission, will run from 11am to 4pm from Sunday 23 October to Saturday 29 October.
